No, this isn’t one of those “I know more than you and I shall now proceed to rub it in” posts. Come on, you know me better than that. You don’t? Well then. That’s awkward. Perhaps this post can help. Like any serious traveller, I showed up to the Vatican knowing all of two things: That it…

Confession: I’m not a big fan of online shopping in Pakistan. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I’m not all like “death to e-commerce” or anything super dramatic like that. I’m just extra careful about what I order and where I order it from (might have something to do with my attachment to my hard-earned money lol).…

Rotten Tomatoes rating: 96% IMDb rating: 9.1 If nothing else, these ratings should make you want to watch it, but here are some more in case you still need convincing. 1. Reminds me of the greatest high-school murder mystery TV show of all time Snappy dialogue, high-school drama and a mystery that slowly unravels over…

Dear Mangobaaz, I’ll be honest, I like you guys a lot better than, well…some of your competitors. But I recently read something on your website which made me uncomfortable and was, to put it bluntly, quite problematic. Let me be clear – I don’t doubt your intentions. I’m sure you meant well.

Last week, I was nominated for a Liebster Award. Well, the blog was but I’m just gonna go ahead and steal all the glory ‘cause I can c: I’ve been keeping it a secret until I could write about it. Except, I spilled the beans to Shehryar ‘cause I couldn’t contain the excitement when I…

I don’t know about you guys but the thought of forking over PKR 2000 or more for a lipstick makes me a bit dizzy. It also makes me question my life choices but that’s a story for another time. Not that I haven’t been tempted to, of course. I’ve spent hours drooling over lipsticks at MAC…

A couple of weeks ago, in the spirit of spontaneity, my sis-in-law and I got a one-way ride to Seaview (cause getting a one-way ticket to Peru was too expensive, JK). As a Karachiite who lives so close to the sea, the frequency of my visits to the beach (or lack thereof) is just plain…

A noob’s trip to the grocery store aka Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Warning: This post has generously indulged in the use of hyperbole for dramatic effect. Read at your own risk. And pliss don’t take too seriously. Let me just start by saying that I know next to nothing about Call of Duty. Except…

Just in case the title didn’t give it away, I can have a flair for the dramatics. It’s okay, take your 2 seconds to roll your eyes. Done? Awesome. Seriously though, hearing about the sudden disappearance of Malta’s iconic Azure Window made me really, really sad (teary eyed typez; don’t judge). It was supposed to slowly corrode…

Update: Girls, some of you had written to me saying that these might contain high lead content. While I love the fact that they’re cheap, nothing is more important than your health. There are ways of testing lip colours for lead content at home such as this. I’ve also heard about a gold ring test but that apparently is just a…
